funny to read this in the middle seat of a packed flight shuttling a Methodist church group. Smart AND fun, a rare feat for a novel these days!! Clearly a debut (stilted dialogue, esp early on), but delivers on its impressive ambitions. What I took away from this is that motherhood, like all expectations of womanhood, simultaneously dehumanizes and humanizes. The only way women become people is by giving ourselves over to the care of another.

Yield Under Great Persuasion | Alexandra Rowland

I'm an outlier but 250 pages of Talking It Out was a bit much for me.

The transliteration in this book of poetry can be #difficult at first, but it is well worth the effort. It's an inventive, unique exploration of the trans experience.

I‘m always up for a Jane Austen retelling, and this one is an #lgbtq+ retelling of Emma. It‘s my pick for #readordonate for May!

The Road to Dalton | Shannon Bowring

This character study set in a small town is both devastating and hopeful. It is a quiet read, one giving the reader access to the secrets and sorrows of the lives of those living in Dalton. Full review at http://booknaround.blogspot.com/2024/10/review-road-to-dalton-by-shannon-bowring...

A queer retelling of Emma with a Bridgerton flair and solid historical references (Dido Belle, Anne Lister). Ellie is very close to her neighbor Georgiana (who prefers to dress in a masculine style and is known as George). We also look at her cousin Charlotte and how differently she is treated due to her mixed race heritage.
I enjoyed this, the fashions, the depictions of beautiful historical spaces (Vauxhall Gardens and Temple of the Muses).
